BOSTON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--AdaptiveMobile, the world leader in mobile network security, today
launched their Open Platform Initiative, providing broader accessibility
to their world-class security platform for cloud communication companies
and over-the-top (OTT) messaging applications; transforming the way the
communications industry secures all customers. AdaptiveMobile’s
award-winning Network Protection Platform (NPP) is a converged carrier
security platform and is proven on a global scale in the most demanding
of networks. The Open Platform Initiative incorporates RESTful APIs to
enable cloud communication companies and messaging platforms with an
advanced level of real-time security previously unavailable outside of a
telco environment and software development kits (SDKs) to enable
customers to extract additional security information and insights for
integration into their own analytics platforms.

“AdaptiveMobile has a
history of solving hard carrier security problems, and by opening our
platform we are ensuring that global communication channels have the
same level of security we have been providing for mobile subscribers
around the world for the past 10 years.”

The APIs will provide the ability to deploy the NPP in public and
private clouds, outside of telco environments, without the need to
understand complicated telecoms protocols. This will enable mobile
messaging platforms - such as Snapchat, WhatsApp and Apple iMessage - to
provide an unrivalled and previously inaccessible level of security for
their customers, protecting against bad actors such as criminal
organisations and nation-states. For the first time, the same
carrier-grade security currently protecting more than 1.5 billion mobile
subscribers is available at the end of a RESTful API.

Mobile operators are also recognising the benefits of this open API
approach and have adopted it for protecting their next-generation
messaging services, such as Rich Communication Services (RCS). Using the
AdaptiveMobile APIs, a leading Tier-1 operator in North America has
consolidated security for all mobile messaging services into a private
cloud-style architecture, future-proofing their networks as messaging
evolves from SMS to RCS.

The Company’s SDKs will allow customers to extract enriched security
information and insights out of the platform in order to incorporate
additional threat intelligence with their own analysis, ultimately
maximising intelligence capabilities and ensuring stronger protection
for users.

AdaptiveMobile’s CTO, Ciaran Bradley, commented, “AdaptiveMobile has a
history of solving hard carrier security problems, and by opening our
platform we are ensuring that global communication channels have the
same level of security we have been providing for mobile subscribers
around the world for the past 10 years.” He continued, “As the industry
moves toward NFV and telco clouds, the Internet of Things becomes more
prevalent and messaging platforms become more varied, an Open Platform
will be increasingly important.”

AdaptiveMobile’s NPP is proven on a global scale in the most demanding
of carrier environments – from high performance networks in North
America and high scale networks in India to the unique challenges of
African networks. With reference deployments for clean pipe, WiFi,
personal and parental controls, messaging security, traffic retention,
and signalling on both SS7 and Diameter/LTE networks, the evolution to
Open Platform is a significant step in enabling the world’s critical
communications infrastructures to be adequately secured.
